simple is always better:

what I normally use - very strong strap/pin fixing... was tired of catching the automatic (see below) on stuff and having the strap break.

but battery is dead so I bough a cheap casio for the mean time (haha)

I do like the idea of the solar power/radio time update Gshock watches http://www.g-shock.co.uk/products/or...W-M5600BC-1ER/ not too gaudy like some. Perhaps it could be the last word in practical wrist watches? Not sure about the 'negative display' though, they used to do one with the ordinary 'digital display' thing.

I have an old citizen automatic but it doesn't keep time very well - it lost several minutes a month. Nice watch all the same though.
